Bowties are Cool

Bow-ties are Cool

This is my take on the  CAS-ual Fridays: CFC54 - masculine cards using designer paper .


I used my silhouette to cut out the potty man with a bow-tie.  I really wanted to use my new Heidi Swapp bow-ties as well so I stuck one on to make my bow-tie sentiment plural. 

Anybody whose man watches Doctor Who or appreciates Alton Brown from the Food network will like this card :) 

Anywho, I adhered my man to my stripe-y paper. In the negative space left by the bow-tie I placed the bow-tie from another man I cut out at the same time. I only adhered the middle of the bow-tie and then fluffed it up so it gave some dimension.

I used a notebook punch on the graph-y lookin' paper. I then stuck that to my dude and then popped up the whole package on to the wood lookin' paper. I slid on the awesome blue sparkly bow-tie and then stamped the cool (which comes from an AE technique tuesday set).  All the edges of the paper are distressed with vintage photo.

The wood paper is actually adhered at a slight angle but my photography skills just make it look crooked. So to be clear the crooked was intentional - whether it works or not is debatable. 

Thanks for checkin' out my dude.

This is my first time linking up to this challenge so hopefully I get it right! My apologies if I didn't though!
